DBSA GLBT Chicago is a Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance chapter specifically founded to meet the needs of the Chicago-area LGBTQIA community with mood disorders or other significant psychological conditions, as well as their friends, partners, and family members. All are welcome.

We encourage you to join us to discuss symptoms, treatment, finding professional care, insurance issues, drugs and side effects, stigma, proper diagnosis, relationships with friends and relatives, coping skills, sleep, exercise, nutrition, self-image, making and keeping friends, dating, money management, disability benefits, work challenges, and other issues important to people like us.

Our atmosphere is open-minded, friendly and non-judgmental. We offer a large lending library. All information discussed is confidential and meetings are led by peers (other people who are recovering from an illness).

MEETINGS ARE FREE OF CHARGE. Donations are accepted. No RSVP is needed; just attend.
